Mahoney的typology賽高
評分一幫比較反感或少采用量化和大樣本研究的學者匯編這本論文集來論證“比較曆史研究法”的優點缺點,多少有一些在量化風潮下證明自己存在意義的味道。比較曆史的方法當然能看到量化研究看不到的很多細微之處和因果機理,平衡理論層次和案例研究相對較好,也不會過於抽象。剛好站在科學化和反科學化、普遍化和特殊化的中間地帶,有時候會遭到兩邊同時的批評。而且由於是比較“曆史”研究,往往受到研究者和整體風潮限製,有一個案例“進入”曆史的過程。量化研究似乎也無文集中所批評那麼弱,其中甚至還有學者指稱比較曆史纔是符閤現在社會科學“本體論”的研究方法,量化研究乃是二三十年前本體論粗糙時代的方法,實在過於激進。想來我自己一嚮的研究方法也是近於此路,不過我是因數理基礎不好、量化訓練不足而被迫為止,而非主動選擇,限製很大。
評分讀瞭感興趣的五六篇,各種大牛。導論入門為主,兼有梳理總結之功。
評分中間好幾篇文章寫的非常有啓發性,本書是紀念去世的顧爾德的,他就是趙鼎新談到的美國社會學的一個天纔
